Compassionate coaching for students and adults—especially those navigating ADHD, anxiety, or executive function challenges—who are ready to grow into their full potential. We uncover your strengths, address your struggles, and clarify your aspirations—then develop practical, life affirming and soul soothing strategies to build confidence, spark motivation, and create lasting success in school and in life.
We assess your needs, goals, and current challenges. This helps us pinpoint what’s getting in your way—whether it’s distraction, worry, procrastination, organization, or motivation.
We break the cycle of discouragement and replace it with a positive cycle of progress and achievement.
Regular weekly meet-ups predict growth and progress. We address your challenges —closing performance gaps, building confidence, and unlocking your true potential.
At the end of the day, our goal isn’t simply progress—it’s happiness!
I found a mentor who didn’t flinch at my idea tornadoes—and even dared to ask, “But why?” You helped me sort the genius from the gobbledygook. My mind palace is cool and all, but let’s be real: it’s easy to misplace the exit. Luckily, you brought the map (and snacks).
Your brain may work differently—and that’s not a weakness. It’s a complexity. But navigating challenges like executive dysfunction, emotional overwhelm, or burnout requires tools, not judgment.
In one-on-one coaching, we start by understanding you: your goals, your patterns, and what’s getting in the way. We untangle the tough stuff—distraction, procrastination, anxiety—and replace it with clarity, strategy, and self-compassion.
Together, we develop meaningful goals and chart a path that honors your strengths. Coaching becomes a process of discovering what makes you effective, creative, and brilliant—without masking or burning out.
Labels don’t define your limits. You already have the potential. Our work is to help you access it.
Young students benefit from a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts approach to help understand the curriculum and performance expectations.
Every academic task— requires time management and intentional effort. We work on clarifying what this means.
We focus on building the meta-cognitive skills and abilities that keep students organized, focused, and in control.
I teach EF skills! You learn how to manage challenges; how to concentrate, how to work around procrastination, confusion or cognitive overload. You learn how to evaluate and manage and performance expectations.
I want to help you take ownership of your work with results that make you proud.
The future asks more of you every day! You need to create new work patterns that support your growth as a human.
Our work is rooted in a pragmatic, structured approach designed to reduce stress and increase clarity.
Together, we break down assignments, understand rubrics, and build a realistic plan for managing your effort. We plan forward and work backward!
Equally important is cultivating a strong sense of confidence and self-worth as a student.
Success in college is about stepping into adulthood with intention, ownership, and the skills to thrive and have fun!
Coaching offers a powerful bridge between potential and progress. It blends executive function support, emotional insight, and real-life strategies to help people move forward with clarity and purpose.
Neurodivergent folks have unique talents, sharp intelligences, and a creative bent—but they sometimes expend enormous effort navigating systems that weren’t designed for them.
Through coaching, we work to uncover what’s really getting in the way—whether it’s organization, time management, overwhelm, or emotional burnout.
We build adaptive strategies that match YOUR brain, not fight against it.
I bring a grounded, old-school work ethic to every coaching relationship - practical, persistent and always in your corner. I know what it means to navigate real obstacles—and I don’t give up easily.
In today’s world, executive function demands are high, and even the most intelligent, capable people can feel overwhelmed. While productivity apps promise quick fixes, they often fall short. That’s where thoughtful, personalized coaching makes the difference.
I offer a balanced approach: affirmation when it’s needed, honest critique when it’s helpful, and praise that’s earned.
My goal is to help you develop strategies that work in your real life—so you can grow, accomplish your goals, and feel good about your effort.
Working with Terry changed the way I approach school. He helped me see that learning is a flexible process and that the study strategies I build in one subject can carry over to others. Most importantly, he took the time to really understand my learning style—and that made all the difference.
Terry taught me a great deal about who I am and how to learn on my own. I really enjoyed working with him.
“Hey Terry, I was thinking about you recently and realized it’s been a while since we’ve caught up. Boarding school has been amazing—somehow, I’ve really come to love school… like, the actual school part of it!
I just wanted to say thank you. I really appreciate everything you did for me last year.You were such a huge part of my journey, and your support made a lasting impact.”
Hello, World!
I track your progress—meeting you weekly in person or zooming as needed, to keep a close eye on multi-step assignments. For all students, these check-ins typically include curriculum reviews, assignment planning, editorial collaboration, and timely reminders about deliverables.
I shadow your school portal to stay aligned with expectations, and I offer practical handouts that bridge learning theory with real-world skill development.
I follow up our meetings with a summary and reminders about tasks and commitments you made to yourself.
My tone? It adapts to what you need. I can be warm and fuzzy, playful and encouraging, or clear and direct. No matter the style, the goal remains the same: to recalibrate the habits and patterns that don’t work, so you can take real satisfaction in your progress and keep moving forward.
Deep collaboration creates meaningful, lasting change—whether in school, work, or life
It’s all a matter of perspective. Everyone has a unique mindset—the key is unlocking it. We learn how to harness our impressive strengths, refine our executive function, and coordinate action with intention. We work to leave behind our worrisome neuroses! The challenge is understanding time, effort, and motivation in a way that serves you.
What often gets labeled as “neurodivergence” is in reality, a unique response to the rigid demands of curriculum, work and life. These challenges lessen when we take time to understand our thoughts, our skills, our talents… and when we’re willing to work around our current wiring rather than against it. Yes, we do it differently! But we often do life brilliantly.
Labels are simply acronyms or a shorthand; a sampling of your current geography. They are not the whole terrain of you.
Coaching is a process of adapting yourself to a more systematic paradigm and someone else serves as your sounding board and advisor. The goal is to replace inefficient, outdated views of learning, living and working with practical strategies grounded in insight and best practices.
Coaching gives you a clearer vision of who you are and who you can become. We don’t “fix” you—we reveal what’s already there: your brilliance.
The result? Forward motion. A return to possibility. A belief in progress.
You say neuro-divergent. I say neuro-brilliant.
I offer you a 20 minute zoom chat for free. And then, an in-office meeting to get to know one another if you wish to move forward.
The in-office meeting is more of a coffee chat than a clinical interview. We’ll talk about whatever feels natural, build rapport, and explore your goals. We tell jokes, we yuck it up.
If you choose to move forward, I’ll send two simple forms:
One for parents covering business policies and fees and listing your concerns.
One for the student/client to share concerns, challenges, and priorities .
In-person sessions are weekly and typically last 50 minutes depending on one’s bandwidth. Each meeting is followed up with an email summary.
Zoom check-ins are available mid- week for follow-ups and updates, and usually running 20- 30 minutes for high school and 30-45 for college students.
We’ll create a personalized framework focused entirely on you, with timely feedback, helpful handouts, and clear next steps.
Flexible scheduling is available—including weekly, bi-weekly, and virtual sessions—so we can build something that works for your life.
